Jain religion seeks spirituality in nature, science and in self. Hundreds of years ago, when science was not in existence, Jain Shramans used spiritual wisdom, logic and mathematics to understand God, Universe and Truth. In the process they developed science of Six Dravyas and Nav Tattavas that made God irrelevant for existence of the universe. They proposed eternal existence of space, motion (time), life and...

1. Introduction The property of consciousness is normally linked to the existence of soul in the Indian philosophies. Etymologically, consciousness implies one’s ability to know and perceive.

Thousands of years ago when science was not in existence, ancient Jain Shramans known as Dhundias or ‘seekers’ of truth, used spiritual wisdom, logic and mathematics to understand God, Universe and Truth. They made history by discovering spirituality in science, nature and in self rather than in God and superstition. They discovered physics of the universe, soul, body, and postulated theories, which are...

“Thousands of years ago when science was not in existence, ancient Jain Shramans known as Dhundias or ‘seekers’ of truth, used spiritual wisdom, logic and mathematics to understand God, Universe and Truth. They made history by postulating concepts and theories, which are similar to those found in standard textbooks on quantum physics, quantum cosmology, quantum biology, psychology, neurology and life...

I always wanted to be able to convey ideas and concepts in the simplest terms but even with crystal clear explanations many people only understand things from their perspective and point of view,...

Introduction: I find that revolutionary discoveries such as ‘Theories of Special and General Relativities’ made by Einstein during 1905-1915 are in fact mathematical expressions of basic Jain Principle called Satyasat Property of matter and Avagahan Guna of Akash Dravya. More than 2500 years ago Bhagwan Mahavir declared that empty cosmic space is infinite Akash Dravya with Avagahan Guna, which means space...

MAJOR Discovery: Scientists announce finding Gravitational Waves confirming Einstein's theory at Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), Livingston, Louisiana, USA Scientists at LIGO announce major discovery. Physicists detect Gravitational Waves, proving Einstein right. A team of physicists who can now count themselves as astronomers announced on Thursday that they had heard and recorded...

Abstract ‘The world or ‘ Loka’ we perceive through our senses is a Physical Reality of eternal Panchastikaya that has time changing characteristics, finite dimensions and multiplicity’ said Bhagwan Mahavir long ago. Existence of Panchastikaya Loka is Absolute Truth (Sat), which is devoid of all limits, diversities and distinctions. But the physical universe Loka, which we see is limited by space and...
